Golicz et al. report an increase in single nucleotide polymorphisms and structural variations across and within Topologically Associated Domains (TADs) in the rice genome, which is different to the pattern observed in the human genome. They show that this may be due to epigenetic modifications, transposable elements composition, and meiotic crossovers in the TAD regions.
